Taxpayer may have to contribute more to fix building safety crisis, Gove tells MPs

[AtW]

There's two different things going on:
1. Firms who make the materials
2. Developers who specify or use those materials

That always happened, happening right now and will happen in the future.

What's really missing is "3. Lack of responsiblity for the tulip job done" - this include money (that can be easily provided by insurance that must survive much longer than 10 years) and stiff jail for persons involved in this - including people who removed proper oversight over new buildings

The French are happy convict their Presidents of all sort of things, it's the right way - high power should come with high responsibility

And let’s not forget Small Government deregulation, the Tories mantra.

So which Prime minister of the filthy Tories were in power back in 2005?

I know B'Liar looked a lot like a Tory but he wore a red rosette in 2005.

That was the year they abolished fire safety certificates which meant the experts with skin in the game were removed.

Under past legislation, the Fire Authority would issue a Fire Safety Certificate to demonstrate that the workplace met the required standards of fire safety.

However, the Fire Safety Certificate no longer exists, and since any Fire Safety Certificate issued under the Fire Precautions Act 1971 is no longer valid, how do you ensure compliance with the legislation set out in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005?

You can read the full legislation here

Yes the tories should have reversed it because it was a stupid law but of course that would be hard work there were cronies to bribe.

I already pointed out Blair and Brown weren't innocent.

Do you think if the fire brigades had started with holding fire certificates dodgy cladding would have been used? In 2004 it was starting to come out and then poof sign your own safety note.
